About this opportunity
The State of Hawaii, specifically the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW), is seeking a qualified contractor for the Moli Point Predator Fence Maintenance and Repair project located in the Kuaokala Game Management Area in Waialua, Oahu. The procurement involves comprehensive fence rehabilitation for a 600-meter predator exclusion fence surrounding a four-acre Laysan Albatross colony, with specific requirements for mesh replacement and removal. Contractors must possess a valid A, B, C-32, or C-32a contractor's license and be prepared to work in a remote, challenging terrain accessible only by 4WD vehicles. The project requires complete removal and disposal of existing cladded wire mesh, followed by installation of new Aqua-mesh products with specific dimensional specifications (1" x 0.5" / 14G / 84" W for vertical portion and 1" x 0.5" / 14G / 36" W for skirt). Key deliverables include precise mesh removal, proper disposal, and reinstallation according to current environmental conditions. The contract opportunity was posted on May 15, 2024, with proposals due by May 17, 2024, and a planned work period from June through December 2024.
The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Site access requires coordination with USAF Space Force and may involve additional permitting, with potential onsite camping allowed. Vendors will be required to negotiate access protocols and procedures with DOFAW staff prior to contract commencement. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the request for quote (RFQ) is structured per 100-meter segment, with final award contingent upon available funding. The project involves working in an environmentally sensitive area with strict predator exclusion requirements, suggesting a specialized scope that may limit potential bidders to contractors with specific environmental restoration or wildlife protection experience. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure beyond the current predator fence. Interested contractors must demonstrate capability to work in remote terrain, adhere to precise technical specifications, and comply with potential additional access and environmental regulations.
